Wade Phillips still doesn't know the play call!!! (http:// sblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/wade-phillips-still-doesnt-know-play.html)



Somebody was a little hot under the collar this morning on his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan and he's letting everyone know how well the offense moved the ball and how well the defense played on Sunday and is still under the impression that the play before the halftime was a Hailmary.

Just listen...

Wade on 105.3 The Fan (http://cbskrld.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/091510_wade_phillips.mp3)

As I clearly pointed out in the video from last night there was never any Hailmary called!!! This man has no freaking clue what was going on at the end of the half!!! And it's Wednesday and he still has no clue!!!

And now he's trying to tell us how great the running game was on Sunday? Well then why the hell did you only run the ball 22 times and pass it 48 times!!!

Here it comes. It's only week one and already this man has me bringing out the 'D' word to describe him. Wade Phillips is a Doofus.

You would think hearing the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator speak would give you confidence but it has done the opposite for me. They have given me doubt. I don’t like what i am hearing. Sucks, because i was so full of positivity.

Yea, Wade has no clue what is going on in Garretts little world. That said, i think we will take care of the Bears, but we better get on the same page because we have a monster coming in after that.

I don't want to add any fuel to this because I have a feeling this thread is gonna go downhill quickly - but this is a fair question.

What exactly what were they trying to accomplish on that play?

Our coaching staff had more than a couple bone headed moves last week that costed our team a win.

Losing close games like that is what costs you home field advantage, a first round bye, or potentially even a spot in the playoffs.

It is a reasonable question.

Here's my biggest problem.

Monday. Did these coaches not have a meeting to disect this situation to make sure it never happens again? And in this meeting did they not talk about what play was called and what the goal was on the play? And as I clearly state in the video they were attempting to get into FG position so how does Wade not know this after sitting in on this meeting?

Why in the world is this man still telling us three days later the team was running a Hailmary?

If you listen to Jason Garrett today he clearly says 'the play'. He says I should have called 'the play' off and taken a knee to close out the half. He never says 'Hailmary'.

I was in shock an hour ago when I got around to listening to this Wade interview. I had just assumed he talked to Garrett and they ironed everything out by now so they could go forward with confidence.

It really makes you think that these two guys, and the staff, did not go over this situation with a fine tooth comb on Monday to make sure they never do it again.

Why is this hard to understand.

Wade isn't just calling it a Hailmary because he wants to call that play a Hailmary. That's the play he thinks was called. Get it?

He's not aware of what Jason Garrett was trying to do in the situation. And then he's still not aware of what was going on after the penalty was called.

I agree, if you are going to Hail Mary into the end zone, you don't send guys underneath as a decoy - they don't care if you catch it in front of them.

Now you WOULD send guys deep in that situation to clear out the secondary if you wanted to try and run a 15 to 20 yard out, get a quick catch and step out. By running the go's and showing the Hail Mary, you get the secondary to clear out underneath coverage, leaving it open. Not sure we had enough time to actually do that, but I like the thinking behind it, if your intention was to give Buehler a crack at a half-ending 60 yarder, just to do it.

, could you post the exact seconds of your youtube clip that clearly define that this was NOT a hail mary pass? I'm reading this thread simply amazed at how much attacking is going on back and forth, but I have to say, after skimming through your youtube clip (Sorry, I couldn't stomach watching the entire thing with the constant pessimism) I did not see any evidence to claim that it was not some sort of "hailmary" except assumptions being made by you in your obvious state of anger. Just because Dez, who is coming off a high ankle sprain and might not be a good idea to get mixed up in a jump ball matchup, was not on the side where the ball was to be tossed up does not qualify it for not being a hailmary.

"I called the play,'' Garrett said. "It's my responsibility.''

Garrett called for a Hail Mary with the ball at their own 46 in the final seconds of the first half. A holding call on Alex Barron moved the ball back to the 36 for one, final play. But Garrett didn't alter the call.

Coach Wade Phillips and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett agree that the decision to try a Hail Mary from their own 36-yard line at the end of the first half of the Cowboys' 13-7 loss to the Redskins was foolish. But they're on different pages about who should get the blame for the awful result.Stupid ESPN.

Because Tony Romo can now throw the ball 1,300 miles with the flick of his wrist.

You didn't know Jason Witten can now jump higher than both Roy Williams and Marty B?

He's faster than those two guys as well.

:laugh2:

And you always make sure Dez Bryant, the rookie who can jump out of the building and who catches balls one handed his huge mits time and time again, is the decoy for all your Hailmary plays.

:laugh2:

And because you want to give Romo as much time as possible to get the main receivers downfield for this Hailmary you send Tashard Choice out into the flat instead of keeping him to block.

Wade Phillips still doesn't know the play call!!! (http:// sblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/wade-phillips-still-doesnt-know-play.html)



Somebody was a little hot under the collar this morning on his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan and he's letting everyone know how well the offense moved the ball and how well the defense played on Sunday and is still under the impression that the play before the halftime was a Hailmary.

Just listen...

Wade on 105.3 The Fan (http://cbskrld.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/091510_wade_phillips.mp3)

As I clearly pointed out in the video from last night there was never any Hailmary called!!! This man has no freaking clue what was going on at the end of the half!!! And it's Wednesday and he still has no clue!!!

And now he's trying to tell us how great the running game was on Sunday? Well then why the hell did you only run the ball 22 times and pass it 48 times!!!

Here it comes. It's only week one and already this man has me bringing out the 'D' word to describe him. Wade Phillips is a Doofus.

Two things DC

First, I agree with you that one of the plays right before the half, one of them might not have been a hailmary. I think one of them was a sideline route, to get closer for a field goal to tie the game, and give cowboys players momentum for 2nd half. When that failed, looked like last play did have some hail mary to because romo was flushed out kinda dead center of the field, with on the route some wrs, going downfield. I am not certain about that,but looked that way to me. But I do agree one of the plays was not a hailmary, but a sideline throw to get closer to the field, for hailmary.

Second, where on the show did wade elude to what you said about the running, from what i heard, wade said we did run well and we did some running decently, not super but decent. And wade never said anything at least what I heard about running or passing more. Just said we ran well and gained more yardage than the redskins. I didnt hear wade really super hot under the collar like he has been sometimes. Maybe upset alittle, but not hot under the collar from the way i heard him talk.

Finally, in conclussion, you asked where in the NFL something along those lines, has a no real head coach on a team, ever gotten to the championship game. I replied back, in a post, and even another post with what I thought how to fix the problem, and how I think jerrry jones is thinking.

95 cowboys super bowl year with switzer, with ernie zampase as experienced offensive coordinator. You didnt reply back buddy.

A Hail Mary pass or Hail Mary play in American football refers to any very long forward pass, long bomb, or dragon made in desperation with only a small chance of success, especially one thrown at or near the end of a half. The expression was made famous when it was used to describe the game-winning touchdown pass by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson in a NFL 1975-76 divisional playoff game. Afterwards, it was reported that Staubach said, "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary." [1]

Well, they didn't do that did they? They followed the receivers. I'm sure those two corners know how to defend that play, but if you're insisting that they both did the wrong thing, then I guess I'll take your word for it and assume they both made mistakes.

I just don't think it makes sense to have decoys on a play that absolutely cannot end short.

There's no way they could get enough time for another snap.

Were they calling a Hailmary or where they trying to gain enough yards to get Buehler into FG range?

This is the premise of the argument.

Stay on course here.

Wade thinks it was a Hailmary. A pass play in which the QB would throw it to the End Zone in hopes of a miracle TD.

Garrett isn't calling a Hailmary. He's using the same play that he called on the first play that he was going to use to try and get Buehler into FG which was nullified by the penalty. He then just kept the same play call on again.

Figure it out. It's not that hard.

You will notice Garrett never uses the term Hailmary today.

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HAILMARY CALLED AND WADE THINKS THERE WAS ONE CALLED.

If you watched the pressers Wade said they stuck with the same play. Obviously we were not going to throw the hail mary with more than 10 seconds on the clock. Once the time came off, it was the same play, which wasn't a hail mary. You don't even need videos to figure it out. I think Wade has confused himself somehow, not sure how though. I don't think either he nor Garrett are on the same page.

But I'm not going to argue about what it truly was or isn't I'm just reading between the lines.

Romo was intending to throw it to Dez on the sideline. Just like he did on the previous play which was called back due to a penalty.

Because he wanted to get Buehler in FG range.

The decision to throw it into the End Zone never entered his mind on this play.

DC just because every receiever isnt running streaks doesnt mean it is not a hail mary.... essentially whether it be 5 receivers or 2 receivers, any last ditch effort to launch the ball as far as you can towards the endzone is a hail mary.

As for the out route, yes it DOES need to be covered for the simple fact that if the receiver catches it, then gets a couple good blocks from his receivers up field, it could turn into 6 before you know it, which is why you stop the ball asap.

But whatever, games over, highly doubt we'll see that crap again, so lets move on. Thank god Ware is o.k.

First what's done is done, but DC is 100% right on this. This was apparent from the beginning

I don't see how it is debatable that it wasn't a hail mary. By definition, it is the lowest percentage play in the book. It requires a TD and everyone in a route to go as far vertically down the field as fast as they can go. You don't care if it is intercepted as (and I hate this ter) it is as "good as a punt"

The defense knows this (thus why rushing 3). The QB basically buys as much time and flings it as far as possible. You want as many receivers down there so you may have a lucky ricochet. If you send 2, its 2 against 8 (20%) if you send 4, its 4 against 8 (33%).

The only part of that play that was a hail mary by default (i.e. worse odds of success) was dumping it off (on a lateral) to Choice in hopes he could recreate the cal bears stanford finally. However, Only Jay Schroeder, and Jeff George had a shot at 70yds on the fly hail mary.

Anyway, big picture is Wade is detached from the offense and Garret is trying to save face. that is expected. Most reports and 99% of the public have no clue what follow ups to ask.

Check any Madden or College, or NFL playbooks. No hail mary routes use decoys. This was either a) the same play to try to get 15 -20 yds for a FG (with 3 secs left) or b) a play to pad Romo's passing stats.

Either way it was wrong and stupid on all parts.

Just don't expect coaches to come out and say "I was completey incompetent on that play" "The OC told me it was a hail mary", etc

If you send 2, its 2 against 8 (20%) if you send 4, its 4 against 8 (33%).First, there aren't 8 defenders downfield. There are 4 rushing the QB. Not 3, as you claim. And there are 2 linebackers in mid field.

So it becomes very apparent, very quickly that you have no idea what's going on in the play, so the rest of your post isn't worth reading.

so if one breaks off a route in 15 yds and goes out of bounds as as time expires...the play was by definition not a hail maryIf your definition of a hail mary was that all four routes have to be go routes, then it was not a hail mary.

But, of course, your definition is wrong, so there's that problem.

i will even dare to say a " hail mary" doesnt have to be intended to be thrown to the end zone.

i know that is the common thought but a team could throw a pass deep down field in the hope that a defensive pass interference call would be made.
that could give you the ball with an untimed play close enough to attempt either another play or a field goal.

Which would not get an interference call on lateral. So the hail mary call (i.e. we need yardage/TD at all costs as there is no time) would not have been executed.

First, there aren't 8 defenders downfield. There are 4 rushing the QB. Not 3, as you claim. And there are 2 linebackers in mid field.

So it becomes very apparent, very quickly that you have no idea what's going on in the play, so the rest of your post isn't worth reading.


OK so the dominitor improves. 2/7 or 4/7

Actually yeah you're right. With Garret a hail mary likely does mean lateral to the RB and 3 stooge it all the way for 6. Just as the penchant for 800 WR screens that always get 1 yd.

You can never say "Generally 3 or more receivers running fly patterns" and expect Garret to follow that.

Thus he found the one formation to be less successful %-wise as a "typical" hail mary.

Garrets hail mary = any pas -2 to 15 yds.

That is going to make color commentary alot easier for Cowboy games.

Somebody was a little hot under the collar this morning on his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan and he's letting everyone know how well the offense moved the ball and how well the defense played on Sunday and is still under the impression that the play before the halftime was a Hailmary.

Just listen...

Wade on 105.3 The Fan (http://cbskrld.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/091510_wade_phillips.mp3)

And now he's trying to tell us how great the running game was on Sunday? Well then why the hell did you only run the ball 22 times and pass it 48 times!!!

Here it comes. It's only week one and already this man has me bringing out the 'D' word to describe him. Wade Phillips is a Doofus.

Daryl Johnston thinks it's a Hail Mary too. I guess they were both listening to Dick Nixon tapes or something.

I don't know what the technical term for it is, but it was a mistake. That's all.

There was no Hailmary called. That's a fact.I watched the play again. I am 100% positive the play call was a hail mary designed to get the ball down the field to hope for a miracle or a PI penalty and they could go for a field goal. Players were downfield deep.

The coaches are telling you this was the call. You need to let it go.

What coaches?

Jason Garrett never called it a Hailmary.

And the design was the same design which was run on the previous play.

Get the ball to Dez on an out because he's singled up on the top of the screen. Hopefully we can get enough yards to try a long FG.

Romo looks at him on the first play. And then on the second play.

If you or anyone else in here can't see it then I feel bad for you.

Because then it means you are all somehow still hanging on to the idea that because Wade used the term Hailmary that he actually has any clue about what went on to close out that half.

He didn't during the game. And he didn't today.

Mayock's right that it's the kind of play you run hoping to get the PI call and a shot at the FG.

People scream all the time about being aggressive on offense. I think it was an ok play call on offense, and only a bad risk when it didn't pay off. But I agree, the receivers didn't get open, and the QB threw a ball that was nearly a lateral that he should have just thrown away, and the RB fumbled it. The problem was the execution.

Now, I'm not sure why there's an outlet receiver on that play, anyway. We'd have been better served keeping Choice in to block to buy another second for the play downfield, but that's another matter.

Either way, WAS played great, and a turnover/touchdown was pretty much the only thing we couldn't do in that game and not win. If you watched NFLN after the game, Shanahan was sincerely impressed that they were able to beat our team. We must be pretty good when the opposing coach has that much respect for us. Something tells me we'll be just fine come midseason.

Watch it again.

He says 'IF' that was what the design of the play was then Romo has be looking to throw it downfield.

Just look at Miles. Miles runs an underneath route. He waits for Witten to run upfield and take the defenders with him. Then he is going to cross uderneath them and run across the field in hopes of Romo hitting him so he can get out of bounds quickly for a FG attempt. If he was running a route for a Hailmary he would be up the sideline. Just watch how he never pushes past Witten as they leave the LOS. You telling me Witten is as fast as Miles after 20 yards? No.

Now look at Dez. He gets behind the defender and immediately looks for a pass near the sideline so he can get out of bounds.

Now look at KO. He runs up from the middle position and heads to the sideline on an out route.

It's the same play they were running from the 46 yard line but they were pushed back to the 36 yard line.

They screwed up.

Let's make it real simple.

Marty B and Roy are not in on the Hailmary pass? The best jumpers on this team are not in on a jump ball situation where the ball is being thrown as far you can downfield in hopes of getting a miracle TD or a PI for a FG attempt?

Why is this hard to understand.

Wade isn't just calling it a Hailmary because he wants to call that play a Hailmary. That's the play he thinks was called. Get it?

He's not aware of what Jason Garrett was trying to do in the situation. And then he's still not aware of what was going on after the penalty was called.

How the hell is that not a problem for you? He's the head coach.

Dude, what the hell is your problem???


We all know that Wade does the D and Garrett does the O. That is the way this team is set up and that is the way it is going to be the rest of the season. You act like this is some scoop you just discovered, news flash.....ITS BEEN THAT WAY EVER SINCE GARRETT WAS HIRED FIRST!!!!


Everybody on this board seems to realize this but you. Yes, you are 100% correct that Wade had no clue what was going on with the offense on that last play, he was talking with the defensive coaches. But you act like this is some big conspiracy you just discovered, its been that way since day 1 and it is going to stay that way until either Wade or Garrett is fired.

I will repeat, Wade does the D and Garrett does the O and the two have basically nothing to do with each other. When was the last time you have seen the two of them talking on the sideline??? I usually see Wade stading one place and Garrett either sitting on the bench talking with the offensive players or he is standing by himself at the end of the bench area looking over his playsheet.

Like I said, everybody already knows this, why are you acting like it is a big scoop or something???

That Wade doesn't know, that Wade and Garrett totally screwed up the last 4 seconds of the first half, that they totally butchered the use of timeouts in the last few minutes, shouldn't surprise anyone. They either lack the knowledge to understand something as simple as the clock, or the conviction to make a decision follow through with it. Wade isn't a leader of men, and lacks the common sense to understand in even the most obvious situation when to call a timeout. This current mess is just a symptom of having these 2 clowns as our co-head coaches.

Its like those kids who play Halo think they could really do that in the Military.

Unbelievable.

I think they are so in love with their own views there is no room for anything else. I do know there were 3 WR lined up to Romo left and 1 WR to his right and alot of pressure coming after him. As to what was called on the sideline and what was being ran at the snap of the ball I can't tell you and I know a clip of the play is not going to tell you what the call was.

I know. What's up with that? A) What are we targeting Kevin Ogletree for? And B) why didn't we run a checkdown or something to get us closer to the goal line so we could utilize Romo on a bootleg? I don't understand what world our coaches are operating in sometimes.

I guess its like when we threw at Sam Hurd twice against Champ Bailey in a similar situation.

Throw to the guy they are least expecting.

:laugh2: at the people who are saying this is opinion. Either it was a hail mary or it wasn't. Opinions are irrelevant.

That Wade doesn't know, that Wade and Garrett totally screwed up the last 4 seconds of the first half, that they totally butchered the use of timeouts in the last few minutes, shouldn't surprise anyone. They either lack the knowledge to understand something as simple as the clock, or the conviction to make a decision follow through with it. Wade isn't a leader of men, and lacks the common sense to understand in even the most obvious situation when to call a timeout. This current mess is just a symptom of having these 2 clowns as our co-head coaches.

thats what dc is pointing to i think

like the called timeout from sideline when barber was open for a big run

or when cowboys offense is on the field, and its like 2nd down, no way our defense is going to be on the field, yet wade is talking to defensive people on the headphones, not jason garrett when at first 11 seconds on the field, then when refs say, no redskins are going to take penalty, i think wade has a brain freeze moment or in lala land, and he still isnt talking to jason garrett

i think this is what dc is talking too

It's one flaw that Romo has. It seems whenever we need to make a clutch play like that, Romo tries to find someone else instead of one of our playmakers.

Why was he throwing to a no-kneecapped Terry Glenn in the divisional playoffs?

Why wasn't Witten targeted against the Stancos?

Why did we throw to Roy Williams and Ogletree on that third and second to last plays?

What I'm saying is when we need the play, let's look for Austin, Witten, and Dez in that order.

I don't think Tony can throw the ball 65+ yards in the air though.

So regardless of what was called, it wasn't going to work regardless.

And not many plays can be run that only take 3 seconds off the clock, especially ones 20-30 yards downfield.

Hell the post to KO in the redzone took like 5 or 6 seconds off the clock.

Semantics or not, it was a bad call that essentially costed us the game.He doesn't have to. You can do a hook and ladder, hope for a PI to set up a FG.

It was an aggressive play that had little hope of succeeding. If it had we'd have all been screaming genius. That we never give up.

It was clearly designed to go deep. You can tell this from Tony's initial drop back. That fell apart and he chose a safety valve option instead.

Chaos ensued, we got screwed, words got rude, and then we booed.

The Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys knows the play call. Our speculation is irrelevant. The fact is we had guys deep and it was a desperation pass designed. That is a hail mary. It has nothing to do with throwing it all the way to the endzone.

Throw the ball up and pray. If you recall the Hail Mary Roger threw to Pearson was not in the endzone and we got a big break when the Minn defender feel down which allowed Pearson to get into the endzone

I also should have said it was still a dumb move by Dallas, they should have taken a knee. If we are talking 4th qrt with 4 seconds left then fine but down 3 nothing going into half there was no need to do this.

No matter what play selection it was, it still boils down to execution. If Teshard Choice carries the ball high and tight the fumble doesn't happen either.

so one wr did run about 40 yards deep,the other wrs from what i could tell ran not as deep and sideline route looked like

so was going deep, but like you said also, playbook said the wrs werent busting their butt

I am in a great mood today!! Got a show tonight with Vela and Hos. We will talk 90% about the Bears I promise.

My last hurrah on this issue and I promise I am not coming back in this thread ever again.

Let's use logic.

The ball was at the 46 yard line with 11 seconds left.

Are the Cowboys going to throw a Hailmary at that point?

No, they are going to try and get to the Skins 35 for a long FG attempt.

They call a play to attain those yards.

They run the play and Romo throws it out of bounds towards Dez on the sideline. Barron gets the holding call. Move it back 10 yards (to the 36) and take 7 seconds off the clock.

Did they just run the same play again? Yes. How do I know this?

Because Wade told us so. And that's what Garrett said to him at some point.

Listen to Wade on Monday...

Wade says they ran the same play (http://app.quickblogcast.com/files/1/3/2/0/2/128698-120231/wade_sameplay.mp3)

So if all of you believing that Wade is correct that this was a Hailmary then you have to then accept that Jason Garrett called a Hailmary from the 46 yard line with 11 seconds left.

Really? Garrett calls some stupid plays. But he's not that stupid folks.

On to the Bears.
